Safety or no safety on a carry pistol?

In my opinion I do not think it is needed. It is an extra process or step you may forget in a high stress situation may the need arise for you to draw your gun. If you plan to train and get proficient with drawing and clicking off the safety in one motion then it's acceptable but for me that just ads another step to a possible high stress situation. That said, also don't carry a gun with a 2lb trigger.

Personally, I don’t think there’s enough to get ahold of on the shield safety.

Both of my carry guns have a hammer and a safety. I don't shoot striker guns well, mainly due to being used to a better trigger. If the difference in me getting shot is the millisecond it takes to click the button, I've already lost. That said, I've found a lot of the "modern" guns to have tiny, hard to manipulate safeties, which I'll agree are dangerous.

Thoughts or opinions?
I have one handgun with a safety (original Taurus PT111 M Pro) and one really without (Polymer 80 Glock type trigger safety but I don't really consider that really a safety lol).

Normally on a striker fire that you carry, I would say no safety. But I ordered this one with a safety because I’m assuming that I will be taking it off every time I get into the car to drive.

No thumb safety for me on any of my carry guns and I pocket carry a lot.
Guess I should have been shot multiple times now since they go off by themselves so easily. [emoji51]
And some of them are even those really scary Glocks that have no safeties! [emoji57]

It had the shortest and smoothest trigger pull, compared to standard Shield, Glock 26, Glock 43, and Springfield XDS.
Much improved over the standard Shield.
